Channel with Custom Availability
This page explains how to use virtual rooms to manage allotments
Note: You can manage the number of rooms you see at a channel via SETTINGS-CHANNEL MANAGER-CHANNEL INVENTORY.
Allotments
Example 1: You have 5 double rooms and guaranteed channel A 2 rooms
Room for booking page: In SETTINGS-> PROPERTIES->ROOMS->SET UP set Quantity=3 In SETTINGS-> PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES set "Requires Availability" = Room for channel
Leave all other settings set to the defaults.
Room for channel: In SETTINGS-> PROPERTIES->ROOMS->SET UP set Quantity=5 In SETTINGS-> PROPERTIES->ROOMS->SET UP set Sell Priority = hide (to hide from booking page) In SETTINGS-> PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES set "Include Bookings" = Room for booking page
Leave all other settings set to the defaults and map this room to the channel.
Note: The virtual room feature works only for online bookings. If you add bookings manually place them in your "real rooms" not into virtual rooms.
